Lyric discussion by Hamza 

I think that:

  1. the lion is the abuser in the car
  2. and the YOU (from the line "I am dreaming of you") is the same abuser but in the author "flashbacks" while he struggles with the abuser in the car.
  3. because at one point the YOU shows as the lion in the car scene: "I start wailing The lion roars".... "There's this great big you And little old me"
  4. It makes sense for me b/c if "you" were the girlfriend, he wouldn't call her "great big you"
  5. At the end he (the author) seems to get even with the abuser "anyone can see (the cops), There's this great big you and little old me"
  6. Now, considering that "the lion" and "you" are the same person, read the lyrics again...

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Abuse? I believe the song is merely a nightmare. Most nightmares are caused my guilt; fear; and other such negative emotions.

Oh, let me know YOUR thoughts :)

BTW the lions teeth could be the fact that he is finally taking action b/c chance fell in his lap, and is grabbing something (like alcohol or drugs) that the abuser takes and "Nobody in this house Wants to own up to the truth") Because in other song in this CD he clearly refers to it: Hast thou considered the tetrapod youtube.com/watch
